IAC has raised/restored my sense of self critiquing in things written and conceptual clarity when posting,
which is crazy great take away for merely usering a website!
Gathering opinion largely from one vetted source, sure there is occassional chiming in (a +), just sits better with me.
Samba is alot less vertically structured THAT way.More of a scrum at times, took a little getting used to. but it was very useful as I carefully (blindly yet obediently) backed into BUS caretakership back in 2005.
I found Greenwood, Desertbusman,RANDY inmaine,a few of the many shining stars,quite a few unmentioned, Bleysing I recall consulting with some stuff.The aircraft Mech in Wassawilla AK, the ex race mech up in Nor Cal. Guys were so helpful with parts. So there you have a more broad type of response. A broader blast if you will,perhaps just catches more target. But that is traffic growing,maybe not %of q u a l -I t y outcomes. There is a statistic to spread sheet?
Filthy Lucre
I teeter,and toy as to engage or not to engage the traveling man's services.
So far these thoughts seem to bloom while I have pushed back normal maintenance. So I dismiss the thought path as stress induced,by lack of periodic Bus+Car attention. As some items are just not getting done,by year's end reassessment is in order.
As I wrote already Colin rasied the bar for me, and I have not even hired him..so. this website obviously is a favorite for me,since it is a Vertical construct.
One skillset I would probably pay for polishing up (oops hint) is the Colin guerrilla autobody tactics. The only problem is the tutorial here is so thorough. Reading it till my mobile phone clutching fingers go numb suffices to get me motorvated..Just have to slot in some time and Im good. Well not a master, but at least I can undertake with some confidence,a critical area where close is not good enough. Samba or Mayor R.atwell didn't close that technique gap. The guy with those seventies shorts did. But who needs to hire the aforementioned smart bloke if his website tutorial is good? I think IAC is a bit more thorough,possibly call it master level?
So that there could be a typical scenario for NOT hiring our fearless leader.
Conversly...convincing,personal testimony,I heard from the local 'Feller Montclair NJ who had Colin by for a?"hellovaday+?" day, and raved positives so energetically. Still has me thinking.
I owe it to what I don't know that I don't know to try a visit. There I said it. I owe it to what I Don't Know What I Don't Know. A bumper sticker.
I recommend the IAC website. I still go WOW! REALLY for the model of Colin,Country lapping man and van.
I will wrestle with the "DKWIDK" angle to book a 2015 visit and see if it gets me out of lurker mode
or,mere "user" mode.
Merry Christmas yall,but I will continue to try to look for life's gifts for the other 364.?days. You guys help!//Eric
